Stefan was a fantastic guide - We were in Iceland for 4 days and 3 nights and had initially booked for 4/12/10 but Stefan advised no lights, said he would take us out next night if possible, but again no joy so Monday Stefan picked us up and drove us out of town and using his knowledge and expertise, noticed there would be some action from the Northern Lights, we parked up and watched them and Stefan took photos. On return to UK he had already emailed photo's over. Would recommend to all. Thanks Stefan.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hello Lisa. It is wonderful that you got to see the lights which of course can be elusive. Thank you for joining my tour, it was a great pleasure to meet you.

Stefan was an amazing guide & made the trip fun & interesting despite the weather preventing us from seeing the Northern Lights. He clearly loves his job, is intelligent & was an all-round personable guy. In bad weather, we met us and were told honestly we probably wouldn’t see anything. We were offered alternative options & were under no pressure to do anything. We went regardless but the weather turned torrential so Stefan finished with a city tour anyway. I would definitely do this tour again.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you for the kind words Tina – it was a great pleasure to show you and your friends around Reykjavik at night. It was a pity with the weather which prevented us from seeing the northern lights this time. Let’s hope for better luck next time. Smile, Stefan

Stefan was great. He called during the day and was very honest about the chances of seeing the Northern Lights (the tour we had booked). He turned up at our hotel at the agreed time and we discussed the options. We decided to go even though chances were limited. Stefan is extremely knowledgeable with enviable credentials. He gave us great insights into Iceland's history, geology, and covered every question we could ask. Would highly recommend him and will be booking him on our return.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hello Ben, thank you very much for the great review! It was a great pleasure to show you around. Till next time, all the best.

No - we didn't get to see the northern lights - but it was not the fault of our guide. The weather was against us (wet and cloudy). Stefan was very friendly and completely flexible with arrangements. He took us on an alternaitve tour and we saw Reykyavik - so that the visit was not wasted. Thanks to Stefan for advice on what to do while in Iceland - We would definitely use Toursbylocals again.

My husband and I took two tours with Stefan, this Northern Lights Surprise tour and the Golden Circle Route, and we cannot say enough wonderful things -- incredibly informative about Iceland and Icelanders and helpfully accommodating given our tight schedule. The Northern Lights were somewhat far and difficult to see, and we met other visitors who had used other tours the same night and had seen nothing, but Stefan was able to spot them and showed us how best to photograph them. Key: dSLR and tripod!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much for the kind words Kyoko. It was a great pleasure to be of assistance. Stefan
